Guiding on Skye's hardest peak with Alan

Not the best of weather or midge forecasts but another great adventure with Alan and Fi on the misty In Pinn.
Braving driving rain and icy winds on greasy rock, climbing the UK's hardest Munro summit was touch and go but Alan was well up for the challenge.
Nil viz all day until we started to head back down then a brief clearing and the Cuillin gave us tantalising views of where we had been!
Alan took up climbing in his sixties and has been on a number of great winter climbing adventures with us over the past few years and likely be back for a good few more .. ;-)
